Fantastic LA-style Mexican food , among the best in the city . Try the verde chicken enchiladas and check out all the Lakers/Dodgers memorabilia on the walls!

Ben Mackey

Ever wonder what the love child of a Los Angeles dive bar and a Mexican restaurant would look like? Look no further. Come get some amazing, cheap tacos - you won't regret it.

Kara M

We come here pretty much every Thursday. The staff is awesome, Pauline, the manager is the best. The food is the best. Carnitas tacos and tortilla soup are my favs.

Andrew Weiser

The tacos are particularly good, each on a single soft corn tortilla , and the fillings are profuse, whether you select the odiferous barbacoa , the oily picadillo , or deep-fried pescado .

Labib Rahman

I come here almost exclusively for the lengua (beef tongue ) tacos . Where most other preparations are gelatinous and chewy, this is mix of crispy and soft like good pulled meat.

Nick Andlinger

Cabeza taco is one of the best in the city . Juicy, spicy and everything you want in a taco .

Holly Stair

Taqueria is the absolute best. Low key , chill vibes and the absolute sweetest staff . Carnitas anything is out of this world. Go for the lamb taco and tortilla soup while you're at it.

Kimmie Ohh

Get the usual tacos : carnitas , bistec , chorizo , cecina, barbacoa (lamb ) & suadero (beef flank ). Feeling adventurous? Get the cabeza (beef head), lengua (beef tongue ) or buche (pork stomach).

Wade V

The fish taco was quite good. Good guacamole . Stiff margs . Homemade chips . Maybe the best for sit down Mexican food in NYC.

Harry Raymond

Strong margaritas and delicious tacos . Excellent option for group dinner . Be adventurous and try tongue taco .

Chez Ong

Very friendly service . Top three are the lamb , cabeza and the pork . Closest thing to LA style tacos I've had so far.

Kat Ro

Prepare to spend 20$ on 3 tacos and a Margarita . (Top notch margarita )

Vince Frisina

The cabeza taco is a rich, spicy , bundle of deliciousness! If you are not familiar or nervous about “roasted head” just know it’s incredible.

Caroline

vague Los Angeles theme. tacos are particularly good, barbacoa , the oily picadillo (livened up with a finger chile), or deep-fried pescado .

Amaury TouchyourTrilili

Got tacos with chorizo , lamb and beef tongue , they were all super good.

Nick Andlinger

Solid margaritas and on point tacos . So happy this is now on the block.

Aaron Wynn

Best place to grab lunch and a margarita on the weekend!

Bon

Fast great service! Salsa was refilled without even asking! Great guac and tacos (had nopal pros and carnitas ).

Samantha Evans

Great tacos ,margs , and everything else. From the west coast and this is my favorite place for Mexican food !

Mia A

super friendly service , great food & drinks all reasonably priced!

Ale

If you have to choose; don't do tacos ask for a quesadilla instead. Beef Quesadilla with a side of Guac to spread on top.

Dustin Lee

Just like the old location except A LOT bigger! Every taco is good. Try the cabeza , lengua , and buche

Andrew Furman

Amazing tacos for only $3 (very close to LA style)

Carl

Food is fast and delicious. Music and decor an added bonus. Great service.

Adrien

Once I did a marathon of my five favorite tacos place in East Village . This is one of them!

Kimberly Diaz

Authentic cheap Mexican food + great drinks.

Allison Niksich

They have amazing tacos ! I personally love the fish but the lamb is amazing as well

Paul Kardous

Jersey City 's famous Taqueria is now in the EV. The namesake has more atmosphere but the tacos are just as good.

RC

Be adventurous and try some meat you haven't tried. They do tacos really well !

Julia Monti

Never disappoints. Cheap brunch when you're really hungry and craving delicious Tex Mex .

Jesse Gill

Best cabeza tacos this side of the I-5

Stephanie

Cheap LA-style tacos , etc. Read the "rules" before you order. Draws a crowd so get there early if you can.

Lain Mdrap

Beer tongue taco was incredible, amazing service, authentic food and feel

Michelle Wiles

Fish tacos have a generous amount of fish

Sarah P

The margaritas are made with freshly squeezed lime juice and are the best!

Anita Dempsey

Best Chile Relleno ever! Great Margs too and great service!!

Matthew Bate

Everything. Best tacos in the world. Try the cabeza !

Michael Ryan

The food, the margaritas , the staff .... all amazing

Selom A

Best guac & margaritas , but the tacos are why I keep coming back.

Caroline

The tacos are particularly good, each on a single soft corn tortilla

Nitzan B

Awesome drinks and the guacamole is just the best

Kathryn D

Cheap and good, but not great food. Cactus tacos are a good choice for vegetarians . Skip the torta .

Wyatt Anderson

Cheap . Pretty decent food. Good margaritas . A bit loud .

Nilay Gandhi

definitely go with the tacos . don't be adventurous.

Chris Davis

Quite possibly the best taco place I've ever been to in NYC.

Alex Robertson

I feel like I didn’t like the food very much but it’s cheap for the area

Chase Brandon

carnitas tacos and guac are all you need.

Kristina Morgado

More of a sports bar than a restaurant . Tacos are good, but their guacamole lacks flavor. Their waitress Jennifer clearly hates her job. We had to chase her down to order more and for our check.

Annie Quintana

Authentic Mexican food ! Get the guacamole !

AmateurConcierge

More like a 7 than a 9! What you'd expect from Mexican on St Marks. Ingredient quality leaves a lot to be desired. This is what gives NYC mex a bad name. Avoid ground beef , opt for $1 salsa upgrade.
